Yeah but even if he ends daylight savings time, he'll probably reimplement it a day later anyway.

Just gave one of their tracks a listen to. Definitely big mid / late 2000s vibes and nostalgia for me. The kind of stuff that would've been playing on a friday or saturday night along with Slipknot and Drowning Pool and SOAD and all that stuff at the alternative club I used to haunt. I probably actually heard them in those days as well.

I've definitely heard of Five Finger Death Punch and I've very likely heard their stuff but its not a band that's ever been in my personal rotation of music. Maybe I should give them a try.

Success: digging out and leveling the whole previously hilly and uneven front section of the house, then weed proofing and filling in with stones, trimmed with bricks and a pathway. And a little corner space for low maintenance plants like a prickly pear tree and aloe types. Also a couple of pots. I guess that's pretty cool. I like it.

Failure: definitely the bit of roof that I waterproofed. Which then leaked anyway and wrecked the ceiling. Which was then followed with even more waterproofing and the ceiling being repaired. Which leaked again during the next heavy rain. But not enough to completely waste the ceiling this time at least though. And now the roof is like 90% waterproofing materials and the leak seems to finally be actually gone.

Hell yeah, that's pretty awesome. Listened to the first two so far. First one I loved and had me thinking that it's very Arch Enemy like. And then the second one is a completely different style and vibe, so it sounds like this guy has an interesting variety going on. I'll definitely keep making my way through these links and probably add some of this to my rotation. Thanks!

Fair enough lol. Just getting the lay of the land here.

Thank you! I like the general vibes here, still need to scroll through everything properly though, which I'll get to soon. And yeah, not expecting to reach the masses either but I'm good with that. Even if just one person enjoys a track, that's still a cool connection to make with somebody.

Just a disclaimer. I'm still kinda old school or stuck in my ways and prefer collecting and curating my own mp3 collection. Also I listen to a lot of music from my phone while walking and streaming with mobile data would break the bank. So I don't actually use Spotify or any of these other services. But Spotify seems like the easiest place to navigate as a free user, so I'm going with that if I post something here.

Back in the day when I was still in my hippie phase with dreds down to my ass, wearing a hand painted t-shirt and some raggedy ass pants, pierced face and bangles and shit all up my arms. In a conservative shit hole town where I was getting dirty looks and was even denied entry to pub not long before because they thought my roll up cigarette was a joint lol.

And I was also going through some pretty bad personal shit so I was feeling especially low and hard done by. And then a little old Indian lady that I walked past stopped and stopped me to especially tell me "you are very beautiful. And don't let anyone make you think differently." Getting close to 20 years later now and I've never forgotten it or that lady.

Apart from that, one of my favourite things as a pedestrian is having an occasional little moment with someone in their car at a stop street. When you just happen to look at each other and make eye contact and smile. That 5 second little connection that occasionally happens always leaves me smiling for the next 5 minutes.

Finished off my rewatch of Superman the Animated Series into Justice League into Justice League Unlimited.

Then finally checked out Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League. Liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Was just as wild and wacky as the first one but not quite as nonsensical.

Then Wolf Children. The whole I watched that was because of a Stardew Valley meme that uses a screenshot from it. I've got kinda mixed feelings on it. Loved a lot of it, not sure I love how everything turned out though.

And finally, I rewatched The Island of Dr. Moreau after the news about Val Kilmer. Still a pretty cool movie.

What's next, I'm not so sure. I've had an anime called Mashle: Magic and Muscles lined up for a little while now. Based entirely on the fact that apparently there's a non-binary character in it. Otherwise I don't even know if it's good or way too pervy / creepy for my tastes like a lot of anime.

And I've got the two Dune movies lined up to watch. Which I want to watch but feel reluctant to at the same time for some reason.

Probably going to end up watching She-Ra again actually.

Edit: actually now I'm thinking that Young Justice might be worth a rewatch too.

I'm also thinking of SAC 2045, which I've tried to like, I've even watched it twice now. And I don't want to drag it down too much because some people did enjoy it and we're all allowed to enjoy what we want. But I honestly chalk the fact that it felt kinda dumbed down a bit (compared to the OG Stand Alone Complex, that is) and had the USA crammed into it so much to Netflix's involvement.

Especially ever since the Witcher debacle where the showrunners mentioned intentionally dumbing it down, or hearing about how Netflix strives to make content for people who are browsing on their phones at the same time, I would never 100% trust them with something like Ghost in the Shell.

Glad to see that it doesn't look like Netflix is involved.
